John Ostrander
In this, his second book, Oregon-based author John Ostrander updates Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales for the post-pandemic 2020s.Meeting at a campsite on the famed Pacific Crest Trail, Ostrander’s pilgrims are serious hikers from all walks of life. In a single evening, they share experiences, exhibit idiosyncrasies, and encounter magical coincidences, through tales told with wit, humor, and above all, a pathos sufficient to the times we’re living in.'I first heard these stories while sitting in a hot tub at Bagby Hot Springs. The PCT is a national treasure. James’s cover art is excellent.' -Willie Levenson
